Glassware

All items are 24/40 standard taper unless otherwise specified. Some items are not glassware, but are used in reaction setups.

Prices are from Sigma-Aldrich's catalogue. In reality these can be had much more cheaply on ebay.

Liebig condenser, 200mm ($55.10)

Allihn condenser, 200mm ($172.40)

3-neck 500mL round-bottom flask ($94.20)

500mL round-bottom flask ($30.70)

250mL round-bottom flask ($27.00)

100mL round-bottom flask ($23.50)

50mL round-bottom flask ($22.90)

2x50mL round-bottom flask with distiller arm (not standard taper)

Addition funnel, 125mL ($113.40)

Separating funnel, 100mL (not standard taper; use a 1-hole stopper for an adapter) (~$20 from American Science and Surplus)

Stillhead adapter ($68.10)

Vacuum adapter ($47.10)

Claisen adapter ($56.70)

0-360 degree thermometer

500mL beaker

250mL beaker

2x200mL beakers

40mL beaker

500mL one-arm Erlenmeyer flask (not standard taper)

Buchner funnel

100mL graduated cylinder

10mL graduated cylinder

10mL burette

Evaporating dish

Aquarium pump with hoses (attaches to condenser for cooling it down) (~$25 at any aquarium store)

Test tubes, various sizes, lots of them

2 ring stands with clamps

Hose clamps

Reagents

1 gallon methanol

1 gallon phosphoric acid

1 gallon hydrochloric acid, 12M

~1lb potassium hydroxide

Calcium chloride, anhydrous (drying agent)

Magnesium sulfate, anhydrous (drying agent)

Things that are broken but could be fixed

A 500mL round-bottom longneck distillation flask with the distiller arm broken off. If someone has an acetylene torch, this could be repaired by fusing a glass tube onto it, or the hole could be sealed up and the flask used for a reflux reaction flask.

A Liebig condenser, not standard taper, with part of the stillhead end in several pieces. Again, fixable with a hot enough torch.

A vacuum aspirator with a bunch of pipe-fitting adapters. It works, but currently the adapters are on there really tight and I can't get them off. If someone has a plumber's wrench and a bench vise, this is easy to fix.

Workshops we could do

Distillation and drying. 99% ethanol is really expensive, but we can make it cheaply with everclear (or cheap vodka) and a little bit of work.
